    15 Makeup tips for beginners

    Makeup can accentuate your best features and cover up the ones that don’t flatter your looks. However, poorly applied makeup can transform your look into something new, and not a good kind of new. Ladies, we all are beginners at some point and knowing the right technique comes with time. Here are 15 makeup tips for beginners that will help you go pro.

    1) Use white pencil liner in your waterline to make them appear bigger.

    9) To make your lipstick last longer, apply one coat of colour and then hold a tissue over your lips and apply some powder over the tissue using a brush.

    10) Use primer instead of makeup remover to get away with any mistakes. It wipes off the make-up while preparing the skin for the next use.

    11) Cover your eyelid with white eye shadow before applying another colour to make your eye shadow colour pop.

    12) If you’re out of brow pencil then use an eye shadow instead. Make sure you choose the right shade of brown to match your eyebrows.

    13) After applying mascara, use an eyelash comb or a spoolie brush to remove clumps.

    14) To curl your eyelashes better, blow dry your lash curler for 5 seconds. Make sure it’s not very hot.

  • Why do all good things come to an end? RIP: Bennifer

    Why do all good things come to an end? RIP: Bennifer

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck first met as co-stars on the sets of Pearl Harbor, then reconnected during their 2003 film Daredevil and started dating soon afterwards… it was love indeed.

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck-2

    The trouble in their relationship had been brewing for years and we all saw Jennifer Garner trying her best to salvage her marriage with Ben Affleck for the sake of their kids. Apart from his movies, Ben Affleck had been known for his bad boy image and when the couple started their family, the whole world thought that those good ol’ days of gambling, drinking and flirting were over for Affleck. 

    Although Garner had never criticised him publically, the couple had been seeking help from marriage counselors for quite some time now but all in vain. They decided to separate their ways and announced their divorce officially after months of speculation about their marital status.

    Thousands of fans have been devastated by the news of the couple’s divorce and few decided to go all over Twitter to express their grief. Here’s what they tweeted.

  • First Indian drafted in NBA, congratulations to Satnam Singh Bhamara!

    First Indian drafted in NBA, congratulations to Satnam Singh Bhamara!

    Satnam Singh Bhamara just became the first Indian ever to be drafted in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

    The talented 19-year old hails from a remote village, Ballo Ke, in Punjab. The closest paved road from his house was 4 km away but that didn’t stop him from making his way into international glory. Towering at 7’2, Satnam was chosen by Dallas Maverick as the 52nd pick in round two.

    mavs

    While the young blood’s talent is still raw, he does seem to have a bright future ahead of him which brings a lot of hope, pride and joy for India.

    After being drafted, Satnam said “I feel good about it because in India there are a lot of players who could have a chance to come here and play in college and high schools. I think I can open the door for everyone to come here and play. So it’s good for India and all the players. It’s good for me and my country.”( source )

    According to his coach Kenny Natt, “Everything Singh must improve is related to his athleticism, whereas he’s already acquired some hard-to-develop basketball skills. For a player with Singh’s background, that’s surprising. For a player with Singh’s physical attributes, that’s downright incredible. The upside is obvious and astounding.” ( source ) 

    Satnam Singh is the son of a farmer, Balbir Singh Bhamara who is also 7’2 and has had an unrelenting passion for basketball. However, he could never fulfill his dreams as his parents insisted that he tended to their fields in Punjab. But Balbir didn’t take this opportunity away from his son, and encouraged Satnam to follow his dreams.

    Satnam said. “He (his father) never got the chance that I am getting now. He is very proud of me, and I want to play this game as well as I can play. That is my task now.” ( source

     

    We would like to congratulate Satnam Singh on his hard work and success and wish him all the best to hit new milestones in his sporting journey.

  • Back to the future is now the present, introducing the Lexus hoverboard!

    Back to the future is now the present, introducing the Lexus hoverboard!

    The future is here! No we aren’t giving you fake news or hyping a hoax. The luxury car making company Lexus recently revealed a teaser of an actual performing hoverboard. The kind you envied Marty McFly riding. And guess what? It actually levitates!

    hover

    While the Lexus hoverboard is still in its testing stage, it has reportedly given remarkable results.

    A huge amount of effort has gone into making this dream a reality as the Executive vice president of Lexus International, Mark Templin elucidated that the company had been working on the project for the past 18 months.

    With this right kind of innovation, instead of giving a slightly improved model of their products like most companies do, Lexus moved forward to give the world what it really demands: An actual working Hoverboard!

    Sooooo how does this work again?

    Well, the Lexus hoverboard currently called “Slide” uses magnetic levitation to achieve smooth hovering frictionless movement. Liquid nitrogen cooled superconductors along with permanent magnets allow the Lexus hoverboard to achieve the impossible.

    lexus-hoverboard-slide

    The sole drawback is that it currently only works in a controlled environment where there is a metal layer underneath.

                          

    While you too have to wait eagerly for this heavenly product much like the rest of us, you can catch any news or updates at the following hashtag #lexushover
